(WebHosting.Info)   Crucial Paradigm, a provider of Shared, Reseller, Dedicated and Managed Web hosting solutions, announced today it will introduce a new line of Windows Server 2008 Virtual Private Server hosting plans. It claims that it will be one of the first hosting providers to adopt the new platform.

It articulates that Windows Server 2008 is the latest version of Microsoft’s enterprise operating system, sharing similar software architecture with Windows Vista. It adds that Windows Server 2008 allows hosting users to take advantage of native IPv6 support; a self-healing NTFS file system that corrects data corruption in real-time; the ability to install Windows 2008 Server Core, which is a significantly scaled down install without Windows Explorer; and other security and usability enhancements. It believes many of the new features will be ideal for Virtual Private Server users, who require an extra level of flexibility and security.

The company declared that it will initially offer Windows Server 2008 on two plans, starting at $80/monthly for 35GB of data storage, 300GB of monthly data transfer, and 1GB of server RAM. Customers can choose from three versions of Windows Server 2008—Standard, Enterprise, or Datacenter.

“With this new line of plans, businesses or individuals wishing to start using Windows Server 2008 can take advantage of our easy-to-use, robust Virtual Private Server solutions that avoid the costs and limitations of a dedicated server,” said Aaron Weller, director of Crucial Paradigm. “Virtual Private Servers allow our customers to completely configure and control their entire hosting environment, without being limited by container-based technology that prevents customization. Windows Server 2008 takes our Virtual Private Servers to the next level, and we are excited to introduce it to our customers.”
